It appears that our initrd lacks the drivers needed to access the DVD drive. I did some looking around for any recently updated tutorials on how to install GNU/Linux on a MacBook 1,1, and the only recent success story I found involved installing the rEFInd boot manager and using it to boot to a USB installer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DnHRai14ETKU I would suggest something along those lines, since it would eliminate the need to access the DVD drive from the initrd, which seems to be where you're currently getting stuck.
